Using fresh ingredients, picked daily from our farm, our chefs will take you on a culinary journey through Kerala’s delicious traditional food. Breakfast is fresh fruit, freshly squeezed juice and eggs from our free range chickens, served just how you like them. Toast is served with honey from our farm bees and our own delicious Arabica coffee. We may add a Keralan speciality like dosa, appam or idli.
Lunch and dinner are traditional Keralan dishes such as thoran (fragrant dry curry made with coconut and different vegetables), fish moillee (often made with the splendid kingfish, simmered in tomato, ginger, coconut , curry leaves and chilli) and tandoori chicken made in our authentic tandoor.
At least once during your stay you will experience the traditional Keralan meal served on a banana leaf, the sadya. It is traditionally eaten by every Keralan during the spring harvest festival of Onam and on other special occasions. Fat grains of Keralan rice accompany at least ten separate mini dishes, all vegetarian, providing an extraordinary array of tastes. Each taste is balanced following the principles of Ayurveda, promoting equilibrium and a sense of well-being in mind and body.
Our chefs will be delighted to show you how your food is prepared in our spotless state-of-the-art professional kitchen and will share with you their recipes, tips and cookery secrets. Learn to cook gourmet Keralan dishes and push the boundaries of your culinary world!
